Revegetation
Repairing the past
We are becoming increasingly creative with our revegetation techniques to combat the challenges of climate change.
Each year we collect, propagate and plant out 100s of tube stock and kilometres of direct seeding. We have trialled water-absorbing polymers, slow-release watering devices, soil microbes, shading, brush piles, water jetting and deep-rooted tube stock.

The 2022 tree-planting extravaganza with Carey Baptist Grammar. Where did the trees come from and what will they become?
Tree planting in the Mallee
Come and create some Mallee habitat with us! See how we plant trees in the Mallee. (Spoiler: we use an excavator to dig the holes!)
Watering revegetation
In the Mallee, it is essential to water the trees and shrubs we plant, to make sure the revegetation survives the tough first summer. This is Phil's clever watering set-up to make it just a little easier.
Revegetation in dry times - Cocoon planters
We are trialing cocoon planters to increase the survival and growth rate of our tube-stock for revegetation. January update.
Zebra Finches and Porcupine Grass
The Zebra Finches are here in numbers which means the Porcupine Grass seed is ripe. Porcupine Grass (Triodia scariosa), sometimes called Spinifex, has an interesting story …
Grasslands - to scalp or not to scalp?
Our 12 month trial of scalping to restore a semi-arid grassland.
Native Pine for revegetation
Now’s the time to sow seed of native Pine (Callitris gracilis) so the tubestock will be ready to plant out in Autumn.
Direct seeding native Pine
Some late direct-seeding of Native Pine to catch the winter rain.
